DC is outta control and I love it.

DC Blaze

I've finally made it to DC, but it seems all the people I was expecting to see are either not in DC, or too far for my touristy self to wander off and find them... Smh.. Here is a list of what to expect if ever for any reason you'll be spending summertime in DC
: extreme heat and humidity starting from 9am and lasting until 4am (just round up and say 24 hours)
:random heat lightning storms and torrential down pours in one neighborhood but not the next
:AlphabetCity??? (Georgetown and downtown DC streets are letters, ie M,N,O,P...)
:(Georgetown specified), Steep Hills that would be great for skiing were there snow and maybe no ongoing traffic at the bottom of those hills on Wisconsin....
:Good eats, from American to Pizzeria's, and great shopping, (I walked by the Rugby store today)
:History and Monuments, beautiful estates and pretty old buildings.
:Mule-drawn boat rides?? Yes, I saw this today, no lie...
:And finally,.... I see ants everywhere!! NYC doesn't really see ants anymore, they've been replaced by other unfriendly's.
It's only day 2 so there is more to come, but I will leave you with this; I miss my City!!

Something Special

Usher's album is here people!!!

Let me start by apologizing for posting this days after the album dropped... but I am guilty of being extremely justifiably too busy to truly sit down and listen to all the tracks on Usher's latest. But can I just say that Usher had me at the Intro. I usually listen to the intro on an album for less than a minute, but I let it play out, because Usher's heart is bleeding hard on that track.... as I soon came to realize for the following 16 tracks. He managed to write a sexual song that becomes completely emotional!! Only USHER can get away with that.... but he's clearly hurting bad right now... or in his words, he's "got it bad." I've decided I'm not putting up the whole album because first of all, nobody is going to sit on my blog and play each track, take ya @ss and buy the album! Secondly, I'd much rather just share my favorite track from the album, so I listened to the whole thing through, felt rather indifferent to all the tracks combined. When I got to 7 I decided to skip 8 and go to
17 and work my way back... It wasn't until I got back to 8 that I found it.. My favorite track... my "Something Special".... enjoy a peek at Usher's beautiful poetry, he's not afraid to confess his love for a simplistic woman... Ladies we don't have to be couture at the supermarket ya know...

Something Special - UsherP.s. This could have easily been named Confessions: Part 3














So I realized I'm really bad at taking pictures so once I get to D.C. I'm going to work really hard on correcting that. in the meantime, lemme just give you a sample (stolen from an unknown source) of what I did this weekend... Traveling down to atlantic city on saturday to see the bad-ass bill maher stand up at the Borgata then speeding home at 2 am to NY arriving at 4:30 after putting 10 on my brother's hand at the black jack table (i got back 30..), seeing Sex and the City with the sisters and Mom in a random theatre in Great Neck alll the way in the front row..... Completely Worth it!!!!

I'm exhausted!

I'm Exhausted from the previous weekend, am I ready for memorial day weekend? I'm finally in New York but my buddies are M.I.A, so what am I gonna do? *Sighs, oh well. I'll figure something out. In the meantime, I'm spending money I don't have, unemployed in NYC, and having the time of my life, having Gelato, and seeing supposed to be history action-packed sci-fi films like Indie Jones and the Crystal Skull. (don't see it unless u like aliens in movies b.t.w.) So here's some words about exhaustion.

Exhaustion is an understatement in my eyes
But sleeping in late is an action I find wise.
Finished the column last night and watched 2 hours of greatness.
Miss Meredith Grey and me have a certain sameness.
We're disguised as bitter realists while deep down we're hopeless romantics,
and when we want to, we show emotion will burning candle wicks.
I cried a little bit I can't even lie,
but cheesy stuff always bring tears to my eyes.
I hope next season is phenomenal because greatness is overdue, until then,
stay tuned...

Grey's Anatomy

Day 1







So we make it to Hollywood but we can't head to Miami until Trish and Ernst, (sis and beau), make it to Hollywood.. We have 4 hours to kill, what the hell are we gonna do?? So mom let me drive the Jeep Laredo (had to snap a shot of me pushin an SUV with a USB Key?? I was excited. But wait, we had no idea where we were going, so onto US 1 we went.
Driving along US 1, we run into the cutest ever ice cream parlor!

Jaxon's was so old fashioned we got excited and pulled in. When we got inside, rows of old tables and antique chairs lined the dining room, but the walls were covered with license plates and keepsakes that were too much to photograph lol (sorry guys.) but the menu was great, Actually, too great.


Now I don't wanna load you up with photos but I have to show you the sundae we had, it was incredibly delectable. It was the perfect combination of pound cake, home made chocolate and vanilla ice cream, just the right amount of whipped cream and chocolate sauce, and 2 cherries on top, one for twinzie, and one for me! (sorry mom,) If in Fort Lauderdale catch a movie or a concert on Hollywood Blvd, then turn your asS around and head to US 1 and you'll find the best fantasy escape land on your left. You won't be disappointed.

5 Day Hiatus


So I just returned from my M.I.A. vacation and I would like to apologize for my absence the past few days. Would you believe me if I told you I was staying in a business hotel that didn't offer Complimentary Wifi? I was shocked and appalled, and rather Annoyed. So while I enjoyed my tanning time, I was shocked even further about 2 minutes ago when I pulled up my vaca. pictures and saw what I saw.. Time to hit the Gym TMel!!!! Yes, the pics will be very limited, on top of the fact that we only took about 15 pics.. for 5 days!! What kind of terrible shutterbug was I?? I'm disappointed in myself.. thoroughly.. But let me just say sorry again, for the past 5 days, and the next few posts that will be more than likely Miami based, with the negatives and rare positives of my trip.
